SELECTION
A series of steps from initial applicant screening to final hiring of the new employee.
Selection process.Step 1 Completing application materials.Step 2 Conducting an interview.Step 3 Completing any necessary tests.Step 4 Doing a background investigation.Step 5 Deciding to hire or not to hire.
13
Selection processStep 1 Completing application materials.
Gathering information regarding an applicant’s background and experiences.
Typical application materials.
Traditional application forms.

Basic level checks.
Reference checks.
15
Selection processStep 5 Deciding to hire or not to hire.
Draws on information produced in preceding selection steps.
A job offer is made.
A physical examination may be required if it is relevant to job performance.
Negotiation of salary and/or benefits for some jobs.

18
Why Conduct Performance Appraisals?
Make decisions about that person's future with the organization
Identify training requirements
Employee improvement
Pay, promotion, and other personnel decisions
Research
Validation of selection techniques and criteria

Techniques for Evaluating Managers
Evaluation by superiorsEvaluation by colleagues
Peer ratings tend to be more favorable for career development than for promotion decisions
Self‑evaluationSelf‑ratings suffer from leniency
Subordinate evaluationEffective in developing leadershipLeads to improved performance
360 degree feedback (multi‑source)
21
360° Feedback
The combination of peer, subordinate, and self-review
22
Key Steps in Implementing 360° AppraisalTop management communicates the goals
Employees and managers are involved in the development of the appraisal criteria and process.
Employees are trained in giving & receiving feedback.
Employees are informed of the nature of the 360° appraisal instrument and process.
The 360° system undergoes pilot testing
Management continuously reinforces the goals of the 360° appraisal and is ready to change the process when necessary.
23
Measurement Tools
24
Relative and Absolute Judgment
An appraisal format that asks supervisors to compare an employee's performance to the performance of other employees doing the same job.
Relative Judgment
An appraisal format that asks supervisors to make judgments about an employee’s performance based solely on performance standards.
Absolute Judgment
25
Rating MethodsPerformance rating scales
Supervisors indicate how or to what degree a worker possesses a relevant job characteristic
Ranking techniqueSupervisors list the workers in order from highest to lowest
Paired‑comparison techniqueCompares the performance of each worker with that of every other
person in the group
Forced choice techniqueRaters are presented with groups of descriptive statements and are
asked to select the phrase in each group that is most descriptive of the worker being evaluated
26
Rating MethodsBehaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS)
Appraisers rate critical employee behavior
Critical‑incident behaviors are established
These behaviors are used as standards for appraising effectiveness
The BARS items can be scored objectively by indicating whether the employee displays that behavior
Behavioral observation scales (BOS)Appraisers rate the frequency of critical employee behaviors
The ratings are assigned on a five point scale
The evaluation yields a total score
Management by objectives (MBO)

accomplished? Benchmarking Evaluation difficult, but necessary
74
Directing & Controlling
75
Introduction
Directing/Direction is a function of management performed by top level management in order to achieve organizational goals. It is very important and necessary function of management.
Management has to undertake various activities like, guide people, inspired and lead them as well as supervision of their activity is required in order to achieve desired results.
76
Meaning and Definition
Direction consists of the process and techniques utilized in issuing instructions and making certain that operations are carried as originally planned.
“Directing involves determining the course, giving order and instruction and providing dynamic leadership” – Marshall
“Activating means and moving into action- supplying simulative power to the group”- G.R Terry
77
Directing involves…..Telling people what is to be done and explaining how to do it.
Issuing instructions and orders to subordinates.
Inspiring them to contribute towards the achievement of objectives,
Supervising their activities;
Providing leadership and motivation

81
SUPERVISION
82
Supervision implies expert overseeing of subor dinates -at work in order to guide and regulate their efforts. Every manager has to supervise the work of his subordinates to see that they do their work as desired. But supervision is particularly important at the operat ing level of management or at the low-level management.
The supervisor is in direct personal contact with the workers and he acts as the link between workers and manage ment. He communicates the policies, plans and orders of management to the workers. He also brings workers' grievances, suggestions and appeals to the notice of management. Effective supervision is essential for the accomplishment of desired goals.
83
The direction of people at work is the most difficult of all production related tasks. Supervision means constantly functioning in a state of flux and ambiguity and few people feel satisfaction from being a supervisor. The reason this is worth mentioning is because many new supervisors feel that something is "wrong" when they are constantly faced with problems relating to their workforce. This state of flux and ambiguity is normal to supervision and success is measured in percentages rather than absolutes.
84
All work requires the coordination of effort. We accomplish this by giving workers assigned tasks and assigned time in which they are to accomplish these tasks. But just giving instructions is not enough. You must give clear, specific instructions on what is to be done, monitor the worker in the course of their efforts and hold them accountable for specific results. These three elements; specific instructions on what is to be done, monitoring them periodically to make sure it is being done, and making the employee accountable for the results are the core of the supervisory process. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to do this. Workers who do not receive good instruction and direction; who are allowed to do work incorrectly without correction and who do not have a review of their performance have not had proper supervision and hence have not been allowed to perform properly.
The purpose of supervision is to ensure that subordinates perform their tasks according to prescribed procedures and as efficiently as possible.
85
In Supervising
1. Set realistic expectations. The expectations that are often left unstated need to be openly discussed.
2. Establish clear goals. Goal setting gives purpose and direction to the work of the individual subordinates as well as to the manager. It ensures alignment to corporate strategy.
3. Communicate. Successful communication is a learned process that must accommodate individual needs. As the boss, you establish the norms. Solicit feedback, encourage discussion (especially alternate points of view), and be accessible.
86
4. Support. A manager is not made by title alone. Anyone new to a supervisory position needs to develop certain professional skills. Your mentoring will be the key to success.
5. Be the Model Manager . Lead the way! Have others do as you say and do.
87
COORDINATION
88
What's Coordination?
Co-ordination is the unification, integration, synchronization of the efforts of group members so as to provide unity of action in the pursuit of common goals. It is a hidden force which binds all the other functions of management.
According to Mooney and Reelay, “Co-ordination is orderly arrangement of group efforts to provide unity of action in the pursuit of common goals”.
According to Charles Worth, “Coordination is the integration of several parts into an orderly hole to achieve the purpose of understanding”.
89
Management seeks to achieve co-ordination through its basic functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling. That is why, co-ordination is not a separate function of management because achieving of harmony between individuals efforts towards achievement of group goals is a key to success of management. Co-ordination is the essence of management and is implicit and inherent in all functions of management.
A manager can be compared to an orchestra conductor since both of them have to create rhythm and unity in the activities of group members.
90
CONTROL
91
Organizational ControlOrganizational Control
Managers monitor and regulate how efficiently and effectively an organization and its members are performing the activities necessary to achieve organizational goals
92
Organizational Control
Managers must monitor and evaluate:Is the firm efficiently converting inputs into outputs?
Are units of inputs and outputs measured accurately?
Is product quality improving?Is the firm’s quality competitive with other firms?
Are employees responsive to customers?Are customers satisfied with the services offered?
Are our managers innovative in outlook?Does the control system encourage risk-taking?
93
11-93
Control Systems
Control Systems Formal, target-setting, monitoring, evaluation and feedback systems that provide managers with information about whether the organization’s strategy and structure are working efficiently and effectively.
94
Control Systems
A good control system should:
be flexible so managers can respond as needed.
provide accurate information about the organization.
provide information in a timely manner.
95
Three Types of Control
96
Types of Control
Feedforward ControlsUsed to anticipate problems before they arise so that problems do not occur later during the conversion processGiving stringent product specifications to suppliers in advanceIT can be used to keep in contact with suppliers and to monitor their progress
97
11-97
Types of Control
Concurrent Controls
Give managers immediate feedback on how efficiently inputs are being transformed into outputs
Allows managers to correct problems as they arise
98
11-98
Types of Control Feedback Controls
Used to provide information at the output stage about customers’ reactions to goods and services so that corrective action can be taken if necessary
99
Control Process Steps
100
The Control Process1. Establish standards of performance, goals, or
targets against which performance is to be evaluated.
Managers at each organizational level need to set their own standards.
101
The Control Process2. Measure actual performance
Managers can measure outputs resulting from worker behavior or they can measure the behavior themselves.
The more non-routine the task, the harder it is to measure behavior or outputs
102
The Control Process
3. Compare actual performance against chosen standards of performance
Managers evaluate whether – and to what extent – performance deviates from the standards of performance chosen in step 1
103
The Control Process
4. Evaluate result and initiate corrective action if the standard is not being achieved
If managers decide that the level of performance is unacceptable, they must try to change the way work activities are performed to solve the problem
104
Three Organizational Control Systems
105
11-105
Financial Measures of PerformanceProfit Ratios –
measure how efficiently managers are using the organization’s resources to generate profits
Return on Investment (ROI) – most commonly used financial performance measure organization’s net income before taxes divided by its total assets
106
Financial Measures of Performance
Operating margin
calculated by dividing a companies operating profit by sales revenue
Provides managers with information about how efficiently an organization is utilizing its resources
107
Financial Measures of Performance
Liquidity ratios
measure how well managers have protected organizational resources to be able to meet short-term obligations
Leverage ratios
measure the degree to which managers use debt or equity to finance ongoing operations
108
Financial Measures of Performance
Activity ratios provide measures of how well managers are creating value from organizational assets
109
Output ControlOrganizational Goals
Each division within the firm is given specific goals that must be met in order to attain overall organizational goals.
Goals should be set appropriately so that managers are motivated to accomplish them
110
Organization-Wide Goal Setting
111
Output ControlOperating Budgets
Blueprint that states how managers intend to use organizational resources to achieve organizational goals efficiently.
112
Effective Output Control
1. Objective financial measures
2. Challenging goals and performance standards
3. Appropriate operating budgets
113
Problems with Output ControlManagers must create output standards that motivate at all levels
Should not cause managers to behave in inappropriate ways to achieve organizational goals
114
Behavior ControlDirect supervision
managers who actively monitor and observe the behavior of their subordinates
Teach subordinates appropriate behaviors
Intervene to take corrective action
Most immediate and potent form of behavioral control
Can be an effective way of motivating employees
115
Problems with Direct Supervision
Very expensive because a manager can personally manage only a relatively small number of subordinates effectively
Can demotivate subordinates if they feel that they are under such close scrutiny that they are not free to make their own decisions
116
MBO
117
Management by Objectives
Management by Objectives (MBO)
formal system of evaluating subordinates for their ability to achieve specific organizational goals or performance standards and to meet operating budgets
118
Management by Objectives
1. Specific goals and objectives are established at each level of the organization
2. Managers and their subordinates together determine the subordinates’ goals
3. Managers and their subordinates periodically review the subordinates’ progress toward meeting goals
119
11-119
Bureaucratic ControlBureaucratic Control
Control through a system of rules and standard operating procedures (SOPs) that shapes and regulates the behavior of divisions, functions, and individuals.
120
Bureaucratic ControlProblems with Bureaucratic Control
Rules easier to make than than discarding them, leading to bureaucratic “red tape” and slowing organizational reaction times to problems.
Firms become too standardized and lose flexibility to learn, to create new ideas, and solve to new problems.
121
Clan ControlClan Control
The control exerted on individuals and groups in an organization by shared values, norms, standards of behavior, and expectations.
